4th Grade Jamestown Comics
Fourth graders at Laburnum have been creating their very own comic books about Jamestown using Comic Life. It’s a cool way to make a fun study guide. I gave them a template and a folder of pictures to use which you can download by clicking here. The students dragged the pictures they wanted from the folder into the Comic Life document. I showed them how to use the Styles button to change the look of the text and pictures. Finally they used the speech bubbles to tell important facts about each person or event. The comics look fantastic, and it’s a study guide they will definitely want to look at over and over again. You can see a finished one by clicking here. If you’re studying Jamestown, be sure to check out the Virginia Trekkers trip to Jamestown. We have a video, Flash activities, and lots of links to other interactive websites.
